Description: Iron and Wine | Yellow Vinyl LP | Archive Series Volume No. 5: Description: Archive Series Volume No. 5: Tallahassee is the lost-in-time debut album from Iron and Wine. Acollection of songs recorded three years prior to his official Sub Pop debut, The Creek Drank theCradle (2002). A period before the concept of Iron and Wine existed and principal songwriter SamBeam was studying at Florida State University with the intent of pursuing a career in film.Tallahassee documents the very first steps on a journey that would lead to a career as one ofAmerica’s most original and distinctive singer-songwriters. Creek arrived like a thief in the nightwith its lo-fi, hushed vocals and intimate nature, while almost inversely Tallahassee comes with astrange sense of confidence. Perhaps an almost youthful discretion that likely comes from beingtoo young to know better and too naïve to give a shit. The recordings themselves are morepolished than Creek and give a peak into what a studio version of that record might have offeredup. Tallahassee was recorded over the course of 1998-1999 when Beam and future bandmate EJHolowicki moved into a house together. Beam had not been performing publicly, however he wasknown for playing an original song or two in the early morning glow of a long night. Holowicki alsoin the film program and who would go onto a career as a sound designer at Skywalker Sound, hada mobile recording device and after some prodding convinced his friend to record these late-nightmeditations. Together they would record close to twenty-four songs, ideas and sketches, with EJon bass and Sam on vocals, guitar, harmonica and drums. The recordings – all captured in the house where they lived – have a “live in the room” feel akin to say Neil Young’s Harvest or Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left, rather than the homespun lo-fi 4-track home recording experiment taking place at the time. These recordings, minus one track, have never been made available and were instead left preserved on a hard drive for the last twenty years. The one track that floated out there, called “In Your Own Time” was shared without a title to childhood friend Ben Bridwell(Band of Horses) at some point. The song became known as the “Fuck Like A Dog” song and Ben shared it with more than a few folks during the golden era of mix cd’s. Two of those folks wereJonathan Poneman from Sub Pop and journalist Mike McGonigal, who included it on his bestsongs of 2001 mix cd, passed out to friends and acquaintances. And for many that is where theIron and Wine story begins, until now…Tallahassee is the foreword to your favorite book that you’vesomehow skipped over time and time again. It’s an alternative history mixed with some revisionisthistory told over the course of eleven songs. It’s also the debut record by Iron and Wine sometwenty years after the fact.
